On every side of us, from our feet
to the golden distance far away, the
world stretched mountains, peak upon
peak as thick as junks in a Chinese
harbor, and range beyond range ineie
haustible. No sounds of mortal life
came up inside the rock, while the
river, gentian blue, wound silent in
transparent pools below. The pano-
rama, in Japan on a splendid summer
day is ,impossible to describe to an
English reader who has not been in
the east, for such a one will read be-
tween the lines the local color in which
he was bred olustead of the wholly ilif-
feront atawepber0 that heightens the
charm of the picture there, the bril-
liant lunainous air which invests our
eye with telescopic power and ,brings
the 'whole landscape to our feet, while
a Soft suspicion of silky haze seems
to teat a balo round each foliage hid-
den hill. Switzerland, too, is a moun-
tain world, but small compared with
this, the entire content frore Inns-
bruck to Geneva only one-fourth the
length of this; single island of Japan,
a thousand miles of continuous ro-
mance. And the quality of the sun,
shine is what separates by a very wide
gulf a summer's day in these latitudes
from one in naore northerly Europe. -

TOBACCO LEAVES:
The Firsit European* Who Saw Thane

The first Europeans who saw tobacco
smoked were two men whom Columbus

Cuba. The names of these envoys,
worthy of meneary by the smoker, were
Roderigo de Jerez and Luis de Torres,
the latter a Christianized Jew of spe-
cial proficiency in Arabic and Hebrew,
Six days were allowed to these two
worthies in which to accomplish their
mission, but after penetrating inland
for some twelve leagues and stopping
at a village of. a thousand inhabitants
they rejoined Coluxiibus on Nov. 0, 1492,
and recounted the several wonders
which bad fallen under their notice.
It was on their way back to the
Spanish , caravels, accompanied by
three natives, that they first saw smoks
ing practiced, Several of the aborigines
were making use of dried tobacco
leaves, which they formed into a long
roll, lighted and put in their mouths,
swallowing and 'Stiffing out the eraoke.
These prinaitive and gigantie cigars the
natives called 'Mimeos, a name since
transferred from its orighaal opplicatien
to the plant itself.

THE WORD "CHAPEL"
It Comes From Latin and Originally
Meant Cope or CanoPY.
The word "ehaper comes from the
low Latin capella, a cope or canopy,
and was applied to a recess or chapel
attached to the altar.
Used originally of tbe place wbere
the cappa or cope of St. Martin was
preserved, the word came in the eighth
century to 'dietary any sanctuary where
holy relice were kept and thence a con-
secrated building connected with a
church or cathedral. At this period
also domeetic oratories and placea of
worship for such corporate bodies as
colleges began to be called chapels,
• Apart from its present day meaning,
as applied to any place of worsiiip
wleich is not a parish church, such as a
chapel of ease or a nonconformist
chapel, the word denotes the eceleel-
astical staff of a soyereign, the sacred
office recited by the pope with his
household and the working staff of a
printing office, because the first one in
England was set up by Caxton in
Westmiuster abbey,
